While the Week 9 college football slate featured fewer ranked matchups, the latest AP Top 25 after the upcoming poll is set to change significantly due to several key outcomes. Specifically, six ranked teams faced defeat in Week 9, paving the way for others to ascend the rankings.

Among the most significant anticipated changes is Ole Miss, which, after defeating Oklahoma in a close contest, has climbed the rankings. This victory improved their season record to 7-1, making them a strong candidate moving forward despite their solitary loss to Georgia.

Other teams to watch include Texas A&M, following their decisive win against LSU, and Indiana, which aims to maintain its standing in the Top 25 after impressive recent performances.

Additionally, Ohio State maintained its top position while remaining vigilant as Week 9 offered little in terms of noteworthy performances from leading teams. Below is how the AP Top 25 could look following the latest results:
